The victim suffered a brain hemorrhage in the domestic dispute.

A 24-year-old Palm Bay man is facing up to life in prison after a jury convicted him Friday of second-degree murder, according to Todd Brown, spokesman for State Attorney Phil Archer of the 18th Judicial Circuit.

Josiah Hadley was found guilty in the Moore Justice Center in Viera for the killing of his then-22-year-old girlfriend following a domestic dispute in 2014. The woman suffered a brain hemorrhage.

In the 2014 arrest report, police said the couple had been arguing while out with friends in Melbourne. The argument escalated when they returned to their home at the Lighthouse Pointe Apartments in Palm Bay, FLORIDA TODAY reported in October 2014.
